But the above is how the commerical software world works.

The manager only cares about shipping the thing out of the door on time,
so they can show they met the schedule and get the raise they wanted, they
careless how buggy or well designed or documented it is. Let the next manager
or the QA manager worry about it, becuase the manager who shipped the product
will be somewhere else by then any way.

welcome to the realworld.
